Sequential sampling (presence-absence) has been used in integrated pest management because it is quick and efficient for pests that are difficult to quantify. For Bemisia tabaci (Genn.) biotype B management a sequential sampling plan was developed based on the presence or absence of the whitefly on common bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) regardless of the number. The experiments were carried out at the November (2000/01) and February (2002) sowings in Jaboticabal, SP, Brazil, using an area of 1 ha, subdivided into 100 (10 x 10 m) equal plots. Ten plants were assessed randomly in each plot, considering only whether the whitefly was present or not. The level of economic damage adopted was 10% infestation. From the analyzed data, two lines were obtained, one superior, from which control is recommended (S1= 2,7095 + 0,1452n) and another inferior, were control is not recommended (S0= -2,7095 + 0,1452n). From the results it was ascertained that sequential sampling is efficient in indicating, or not, control of B. tabaci biotype B in the common bean crop.
